I tried to convince Roy that I was the one to help him write his autobiography or a memoir several different times in the early 90's and then again in the early 2000's. His first hand experience with so many of the creators of the jazz art form and it's evolution would be priceless, and at that time, he remembered it ALL!
I did the research, (still have it all) and presented it to him. He dug my prep-work, but he claimed that he "didn't have the time." I have interviewed him a few times since, I think the prime time to do this has unfortunately passed. We still joke about it when we see each other. Maybe Craig (his son) has plans to do it, I hope someone does.
Back on subject. (For me) The Paiste 18" Thin 602 Flat is IT! The 20" 602 Thin is 1a. I have my 20" 602 thin with 3 rivets (to create another slightly different sound on the palette. And what a beautiful sound it is. (Roy has played them both.) The hidden sound of any thin flat is the funky crash, nothing else makes that sound! They don't fit everywhere, but nothing does. But when it is used in the right context, it's like peanut butter and jelly!
Semi-related. As well as leaving us all an amazing amount of wonderful and joyful music... Thankfully Chick also left us a wonderfully educational book called "A Work in Progress... On Being a Musician." It should be required reading for any musician (regardless of "style or genre," words that mean nothing anyway.)
